Eco Living at its Finest

409 White Gum Track, Fryerstown, Vic 3451
Discover a harmonious blend of modern design and sustainable living in this architect-designed off-grid home. Nestled in the serene bushland of Fryerstown, this property exemplifies eco-living at its finest. The 3.3-acre (approx) property offers the ideal country home retreat. With walking and bike tracks at your doorstep, explore the stunning Castlemaine National Diggings Park and its rich natural heritage. Fryerstown is a 15-minute drive to Castlemaine for retail shops, amenities, schools, and train services to Melbourne or Bendigo, with the Calder Freeway only an 8-minute drive away.

With angled rooflines and a crisp white exterior, the generous home features expansive ceiling heights and windows that frame the garden and surrounding landscape-like artworks while allowing the softness of the natural light to filter into the interior. The home has a 4kW off-grid solar system featuring an impressive 16kW storage capacity, supported by four new lithium batteries for reliable energy management. Additionally, a generator backup ensures you have power when needed. The windows are laminated commercial-grade 8mm thick glass, allowing for energy efficiency and durability, providing excellent insulation. This thoughtful integration of technology and design allows for a sustainable and comfortable living experience.

The interior features entry into the home from a north-facing entertaining patio with a vine-covered pergola. The dining space overlooks the sunken living. The kitchen overlooks the back garden and provides a Bosch dishwasher, a 900mm freestanding electric fan-forced oven with a gas cooktop (bottled), and a walk-in pantry. Steps lead down to the living space. The sunken living space is bathed in light from large windows and has external access and a Nectre solid wood heater. This level also provides the main bedroom with a curved wall, large picture and louvre windows to the north, south and west, all overlooking the garden, built-in robes and a ceiling fan. A second bedroom has built-in robes, a split system and external access to a private patio with access to the garden. The bathroom is a spa retreat with cedar cladding, a hardwood benchtop with a basin, an open walk-in shower, steps to the bath allow for views overlooking the surrounding bushland, and an angled soaring skylight soaks the space in natural light. Completing the lower level is a separate toilet with a basin and stairs to the 7m x 3m garage with a workshop and a battery room housing the solar equipment and generator. The property is connected to Skymesh satellite NBN.

The third level offers a multifaceted space as a third bedroom, a home office or second living. The 5.9m x 4.7m room has a walk-in robe with a 3.6m x 2.1m concealed storage space, a high ceiling with a ceiling fan, a curved wall, large picture and louvre windows to the north, south and west capturing the surrounding landscape and built-in storage. A private fourth bedroom has a raked ceiling, a louvre window overlooking the garden, and further steps lead to a study with a Juiliet window overlooking the living and a concealed storage space. The laundry has storage and external access to the back garden. Interior design details include louvre windows for ventilation, floorboards, Luxaflex blinds, built-in storage and angled lines in the ceiling to create interest and contrast.

The north-facing entertaining area overlooks the garden that wraps around the home. The established and well-thought-out garden comprises deciduous trees that include Japanese maples, ornamental pears, rock walling, a tranquil water feature, raised veggie gardens and expansive street lamps converted to display a stunning white wisteria. Gravel paths lead to a chicken pen, two sheds, a wood shed, and a tee-pee crafted from collected branches. The garden seamlessly merges into the surrounding bushland. The property has two water tanks providing approximately 72,000 litres for the home, while a large dam supplies a fire tank and irrigation for the garden. 

This home offers a unique blend of modern living and natural tranquillity, equipped with sustainable energy solutions, allowing for an eco-friendly lifestyle.
